That is my pleasure this evening. I have loved the "Messiah" for many years (not saying how many!). To my mind it is a pity that it is usually confined to the busy period of Christmas, so I am particularly pleased to have a Lenten performance. The emotion and drama of the Easter story are something quite special, and deserve to be savoured. Our wonderful soloists and the East Lancs Sinfonia will, I am sure, join with the choir to produce a magical musical experience. We will not be having our usual lighter-themed concert at Middleton Arena this year. Instead we will be holding a Choir "At Home" evening on Friday, 16th June in our regular rehearsal venue - the beautiful Ballroom of Chadderton Town Hall, from 7.30 to 10.30pm. You are invited to join us for a short concert, followed by some time for social and fund-raising activities.

Our previous visits were truly great occasions, and I can’t imagine a more splendid and appropriate setting for the two wonderful main works to be performed this evening. The Fauré Requiem is a marvellously lyrical work, full of memorable tunes and deep emotion. It is well-known by choirs and audiences. Less well-known, and very different, is the Duruflé Requiem, with its marvellous use of themes based on Plainsong Chants. Very few of the choir knew this piece, and working on it has proved fascinating and challenging. If it is new to you, then I believe it will prove an enjoyable experience.

  • Non-Francophone French Second Language
    Setting the scene for liminality: Non-francophone French Second Language teachers‟ experience of Process Drama by Krystyna A. Baranowski Department of Integrated Studies in Education Faculty of Education McGill University April 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Krystyna A. Baranowski, 2010 ii Abstract Non-francophone teachers of French as a second or additional language (FSL) often struggle with overwhelming oral anxiety, consequent low self-confidence, and workplace marginalisation. Core French or Basic French teachers, in particular, and their subjects have been undervalued (Carr, 2007; Lapkin, McFarlane, & Vandergrift, 2006; Richards, 2002). Moreover, recent national FSL research points to challenges in the areas of teacher attrition, lack of methodological and /or linguistic preparation, and lack of professional development opportunities in the FSL context (Karsenti, 2008; Salvatori, 2007). In this dissertation, I present the findings of my qualitative research study, which examined the conditions and experiences of non-francophone FSL teachers in Manitoba. To do so, I looked at the teachers‟ relationship with French and how French oral competency and oral language communicative confidence are intertwined to foster the teachers‟ sense of agency. The theoretical orientations underpinning this study draw from socio-constructivism (Bruner, 1985, 1990; Vygotsky, 1978), Feminist Standpoint theory (De Vault, 1999; Lather, 1991), Bakhtinian dialogism (Vitanova, 2005), and Institutional Ethnography (Smith, 1987, 2005). The lens I used to understand and interpret the voices and self-perceptions of the teachers is Process Drama, delivered in the form of professional development workshops. Process Drama (Heathcote, 1991) consists of thematically based improvisations, which are used to explore a topic and, at the same time, to invite self-exploration.
